So I nearly lost the yacht earlier 🌬️🌊⛵🙏
Had an emergency call, went down in the midst of a storm to see her rolling sideways on the beach, right between two houseboats.
I so nearly lost her, my home.
Had to wade in, grab emergency lines without getting squished and drowned, drag them out and tie her off to any available solid point.
I've now got to go back and put more proper and secure lines on her, then go back in the morning and check the mooring.
Bit of a mad day 😱🤙
Best wishes to you ⚡️
Holy Shit Matt!! Thank God you got there in time mate, I’m miles away tonight , if I was closer I’d offer to come help 🫂 be careful mate.
😱 may this be the worst of your storms. Glad you and the boat are safe. 🙏
WoW. I cant even imagine what this looked like and how difficult it must have been to secure the boat. Send some pics if you have any so we can wrap our minds around your situation. Stay positive and thankful that everyone is safe.
Wow! Glad you’re both ok 🤙
Thanks for the love guys - yesterday and today were both challenging - the boat is "secure", so to speak, but vulnerable.
In horizontal rain and wind I reset some lines earlier, added new ones to keep her secure and prepared to have her moved back out.
The plan is to float her tomorrow and get her back to her mooring by Saturday.
My hands were red raw, covered in salt and sand by the time I was done this morning...it's not always the easy tranquil life and I long for those hot summer days 🌞🌄
